Ji Shuyun pondered for a moment and decisively issued an order: "Begin the investigation within the Academy of Fine Arts, focusing on students or faculty members who are not majoring in sculpture but have a certain foundation in art."

The police officers on the side nodded and quickly recorded this direction as the focus of the investigation.

After carefully surveying the operating room and its surroundings, Xia Zhining slowly retreated to the corridor.

At this time, the forensic doctor's preliminary report stated that the scene was unusually "clean". Although the deceased's arms were cut off, there were obvious blood splatters.

Preliminary toxicology tests showed that "common poisons were detected" in the blood and urine, basically ruling out poisoning as the cause of death, but the specific cause of death remains unclear.

After listening to the forensic report, Ji Shuyun frowned and turned to Xia Zhining, his tone serious: "The most difficult thing at the moment is that the two arms of the corpse are missing."

"We urgently need to find this part of the body so that we can obtain further clues and advance the investigation."

Xia Zhining nodded without hesitation: "Leave it to me!"

Xia Zhining patted the little white ball on his shoulder and said, "Xuetuan, smell carefully around the second teaching building first and help find some clues."

[Sister, got it!]

With a whoosh, the weasel snowball shot out like a flash of white lightning.

The tip of its small nose kept moving, concentrating on catching even the slightest smell of blood in the air, and then disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Then, Xia Zhining brought King Li Xi and the squirrel brothers to the back of the second teaching building.

Here is an almost forgotten courtyard with weeds growing wildly, almost half a person's height, exuding a sense of desolation and silence.

She turned to King Li Xi, who was squatting gracefully beside her, and instructed him earnestly, "King Li Xi, please make use of your position as a local boss."

"Can you please ask the cats and rats living around here if they've seen any human arms in places like garbage dumps or sewers lately?"

King Li Chi lazily licked his paw, flicked the tip of his tail, and said, "Leave it to me." "Hmph, such a small matter... just wait."

The squirrel brothers squatted side by side, their two pairs of big round eyes staring at Xia Zhining without blinking.

[Sister, what about us? We can help too!]

The two brothers' big furry tails swayed restlessly behind them.

Xia Zhining was amused by their eager expressions and quickly pointed to the lush trees surrounding the teaching building: "Of course we need you!"

"Could you please climb up a nearby tree and look carefully for any birds or other small animals that may have witnessed the scene? Ask them if they noticed anything unusual."

[Guaranteed mission completion!]

The two little squirrels responded crisply, then nimbly jumped up the tree trunk.

The big fluffy tail flashed among the branches and leaves and soon disappeared into the green shade.

After arranging several groups of "detectives", Xia Zhining breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the main entrance of the second teaching building.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined temperament, talking to Ji Shuyun with a serious expression.

When Xia Zhining saw this person, her eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.
